As an educator you need to be fully aware of these differences among your students, so you can provide a classroom where the students are comfortable interacting with different people, ideas and backgrounds within the physical school environment. Diversity can contribute to the effects on the health and learning of children and my aim will be to narrow the selection to socioeconomic status (SES) on families. Socioeconomic status is the whole social position of a person or family Considine, G. and G. Zappala (2002). Sociological research clearly indicates how SES affects the health and academic performance of children and is one reason why it affects educational outcomes. Children 's health and learning have a great relationship within the socioeconomic status, these include the geographical location, family structure or dynamics and school and neighbourhood environments.
The geographical location plays a vital role in a child’s health and intellectual development. Jones (2002) clearly indicates how students from remote (non-metropolitan) areas are significantly underachieving those from more prosperous (metropolitan) areas.

Academic Performance and It’s Factors
There are many ways in which external factors like the people around someone and the environment they live in can affect their academic performances. That person can also affect their own academic performance through internal factors like their mindset and need for a positive self image. The term “mindset” that Carol S. Dweck used in her book “Mindset” refers to how an individual views a situation and how they handle that situation as well. Students’

For instance, Sana Louis examines that Facebook has no significant effect on students’ achievement.

Focusing on the same type of participants, Syarif Husin Lubis et. al. also found that there is no difference of academic performance between

CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
Although, academic performance of the children is focused to determine their intellectual ability but health also plays a significant role in capacity of a child to learn. Numerous studies in the context of academics and social sciences have been conducted to empirically support the evidence that children engaged in physical activity tend to perform better than their sub ordinates who do not involve in physical activity. Other studies in similar context have also demonstrated

education, the academic outcomes for children can be very positive.
The literature has lauded parental involvement as an effective strategy to increase student achievement, but schools still struggle with how to effectively involve parents of color and low-income families (Bower & Griffin, 2011).
School’s Responsibility
NCLB requires schools to use at least 1% of their Title I funds to develop a parent involvement program, explain the curriculum, standards, and assessment to parents, develop a parent-school
